since the resource lists i've put together in the past seemed to have helped some of you, i thought i'd pull together some initiatives and programs supporting people in lebanon. hundreds of thousands of people have been forced to flee their homes, often after already having suffered earlier displacements and losses, in just a little over a week. if you have funds to spare, now is a vital time to contribute towards organizations and mutual aid projects like these.
makhzoumi foundation - providing food and water assistance, medical care, psychosocial support, and other necessities
lebanon emergency relief - providing food, baby supplies, medication, sleep and hygiene necessities, and financial assistance
lebanese food bank - runs food and water security initiatives across the country
basmeh & zeitooneh - running various educational and psychosocial programs, providing food and water packages, shelter and sleeping supplies, and hygiene products
lebanese red cross - provides medical care, supplies for hospitals, search and rescue operations, and necessities for displaced people

if you're able, please consider supporting one or more of these initiatives. bombardment and displacement are circumstances no one should have to endure—if you are blessed with safety and comfort right now, don't forget those whose lives and lands are under threat. any small thing you can do is better than doing nothing.
